Up for auction is my 1968 Dodge Charger that has a 440 and a 4 speed transmission. This was set to be my project but, I just have not had the time, nor the extra cash to get her going. The car is title in my name and I have a Clean title for the car. This is a running and driving project car. The engine starts right up and idles very smoothly. There are no knocks in the motor, and she does not smoke! The carb is a old Carter carb that has seen better day, but she seems to work fine. The trans is a A833 4 speed that shifts great, and downshifts great also. The car has been on trips around the neighborhood and to the gas station but, that is it... so I would suggest that if you buy the car I would trailer it home as I have not had the car out any long trips. The car prior to me purchasing it, had sat since 1995. I put a new tank/ sending unit in, flushed the lines, new fuel pump and she fired up right away and ran fine! The car is in very good condition for a project, nice body lines and minimal rust. The floors look great, rockers look great, but the lower rear quarters have some small rust bubbles. The trunk pan was replaced in the past also. The rust is very minor on the car, and the rear panel behind the back window looks just ok. The car is a running/ driving project car. These Chargers are getting very hard to find, and this one is a great start to a project, or just do a little and drive it like she sits. The car was originally Red, with a black interior.

The doors both open and close well, the windows roll up and down and the glass is all in good shape overall. The windshield is a few years old but, in great shape. The Speedo works, the Tac works, but the clock is frozen. Gas gauge works, volt gauge works, and the temp gauge works too. The headlight switch is not working correctly, but the brake lights/ blinkers all work, and the horn works too. The dash pad has some cracks, but the lower dash pads are in decent shape. The headliner is in great shape, and the door panels are in ok shape but, they are showing normal wear and tear. The car will come with some different tires/ wheels than are pictured.

The car is a nice driver/ project type car! The winning bidder is required to pay a $1000 non refundable deposit due within 24 hours of winning the car! The car is being sold " As Is" due to it's age. The deposit must be paid through Paypal. The remaining balance is due within 3 days of the auction closing, and the final payment may be made with a Cashiers check, wire transfer or cash in person. The car must be picked up within 2 weeks of the auction closing, and my zip code is 89131 for shipping purposes. Please email me with any questions, and good luck!! choice!!

On Nov-08-13 at 16:46:54 PST, seller added the following information:

In response to a few questions I have received about the car... The car was originally a 318 with a manual trans. The 440 and 4 speed that are now in the car were out of a 71 "B" body car. The motor runs very well but, I do not know the true mileage or when it was rebuilt last. I do not have the data tag for the car as it was missing when I bought the car. I do not have a build sheet for the car either, sorry. As far as the body goes, it is very straight and you will be hard pressed to find dents or dings in the car.... I have not had many cars as straight as this Charger is! Good Luck, and if you have any questions that you need to speak to me about please feel free to call me at 702-321-2457. I will not discuss what I want for the car but, you are welcome to make a fair offer and we can discuss that. Shawn

Motorweek goes retro with '80s hot hatch shootout

Mon, 03 Nov 2014

Motorweek's decades of history on television make it the perfect medium to look back into the automotive past and see how things are different now. It recently added old road test videos to its YouTube channel of the Acura NSX and Toyota Supra, as well as the Ferrari F40. For one of its newest flashback clips, Motorweek has exhumed an affordable five-car challenge of 1986's premiere hot hatches.
By today's standards, this is an eclectic field that features fondly remembered classics like the Volkswagen GTI 16-valve and Acura Integra. However, it also throws in some nearly forgotten contenders like the Dodge Colt Turbo and Ford Escort GT. The angular Toyota Corolla FX16 GT-S rounds out the group.
It's fascinating to watch Motorweek run the quintet through the slalom, down the drag strip and on various roads. What's most striking in this clip is the difference in the definition of a performance car between then and now. With its 16-valve, 1.8-liter four-cylinder, the GTI is the burliest of the contenders with 123 horsepower, but it still takes 8.8 seconds to reach 60 miles per hour. By today's standards, that would make it a plain-jane economy car, and not even a particularly quick one.

Chrysler investing $20M in Toledo plant to support 9-speed auto production

Sun, 28 Apr 2013

In 2011, Chrysler announced a $72-million investment in its Toledo Machining Plant to modernize production of the eight- and nine-speed torque-converters for automatic transmissions made there. That upgrade work won't be finished until Q3 of this year, but Chrysler has already announced a further $19.6-million investment to increase production capacity for the nine-speeders.
The extra units will be necessary because the nine-speed transmission they'll be mated to is going into three popular models: it will debut on the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, then go into the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart. The company predicted that this year alone it would sell 200,000 units equipped with the nine-speed tranny, and it is spending some $374 million in addition to the investment in Toledo to upgrade production capacity for it.
The work attached to this new investment won't begin until Q3 of 2014, and it will be finished by the end of that year. There's a press release below with all the details.

Chevy Corvette Stingray defeating rivals where it matters most

Wed, 16 Jul 2014

Everything is coming up roses for the award-winning Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, as new data from the North American Dealers Association dissected by GM Authority reveals that America's sports car is handily outselling two of its more expensive rivals.
Through June of 2014, the NADA notes that the Corvette has rung up 17,744 sales, handily besting the Porsche 911 and positively spanking the SRT Viper. Of course, you're sitting there thinking, "Corvette is outselling the much more expensive Porsche and Viper. Sky blue, water wet." But what's impressive here is just how thoroughly the Chevrolet is beating its two rivals, with this data serving as a testament to just how popular the seventh-generation sports car has become.
So far this year, Porsche has managed to move 5,169 911s, according to NADA. Considering that the base model starts at nearly $15,000 more than the most heavily optioned Stingray, and that Porsche owners have a vast, expensive options catalogue to select from, Stuttgart's sales are still plenty impressive in relation to the nearly 18,000 Corvettes sold.
